Are Explained.
Bv CORA A HARRIS
< Field Representative FHA)
The work of the Federal Housing
Administration of North Carolina is
gaining momentum throughout the
State and reports from all parts of
Uu- cpujifry arc as equally encouraging.
To date, canvasses co.erir.g the
entire Unitw States resulted in calls
on 5.C00.000 individuals, and pledges
for 1.000.000 jobs; more than 7.000
committees representing 65 per cert
of the population of the country, are
conducting or perfecting organizations
for better homes. Practically
every county in North Carolina is
well organzied and each is carrying
forward satisfactory and enthusiastic
campaigns.
On the basis of work completed and
jobs pledged, it is estimated that the
nation-wide campaign has generated
$400,000,000 worth of modernization
work. As a result of the campaign
some companies have reported increases
fidm 200 to 600 per cent over
the same period a year ago. In an
Eastern North Carolina city a lumber
company found it necessary to
employ 25 additional men. In Sumter,
S r* tVw?iv? in .1 > ar-timl ?n-,nT*thcro r?f
competent construction workers. In
four Arkansas cities there is not an
available mechanic and not one on re.
lief rolls.
Car J-oadings Increase
Railroad car loadings of building
material are increasing. They are
hauling more sand and stone, and
lime and cement; more plaster and
bricks, and bath tubs and kitchen
equipment. They arc hauling things
that make a house a home?the
things that make a house a home?
the things that create property assets :
out of property liabilities.
The Federal Housing Administration
is accomplishing three distinct
purposes: taking men off relief rolls,
-thereby reducing Government tixneil- i
dilures; moving materials ami releasing
id Jo money. The Federal Housing !
is an aianr. clock for sleeping capital,
which should be up and about the i
business of employing workers and
creating new wealth.
North Carolina is making a particulariy
fine job of home improvement,
not only by individual citizens but by
our civic, patriotic, religious and eui-;
tnral organizations. Our State and
municipal governments realize that
modernization is a powerful commun-"]
ity upbullder. We arc urging every i
citizen and property owner of this I
community to familiarize himself with |
the modernization credit loan. A full
explanation can be obtained the' chair-1
man of the local Better Housing!
Campaign. !

I likely one is Doctor-Senator John Til-;

of the sales tax. Another possible!
candidate is Dr. Ralph \V. McDonald, j

The Lieutenant Governorship
The No. 2 place in the State government

by "Sandy" Graham, is less certain,
Paul D. Grady, president protempore

and long a lawmaker, from Johnston
County, has announced his candidacy
and ;s now busy "shelling tin- woods" i
i with commencement speeches. Half a
j dozer, others are now considering en- j
tering the race. George McNeil, Fay-j
etteville, former Senator, is expected
to enter. \V. L. Lumpkin, Franklin,
and W. P. ITorton, Chatham, are giving
it serious consideration. VV. G.
Clark, Tarboro, Harriss Newman, j
Wilmington, and Carl L. Bailey. Ply- j
mouth, have their eyes on this job,!
as well as Robert Grady Johnson, of j
Pender, speaker of the recent House;

So far. only R. T. Fountain, Rocky

has announced that he will opjpose

ACA1NST SPF.fl.VI. SESSION
Governor Fhringhaus is seeking to j j
avoid :? special session of the General i
Assembly for any purpose. He has 11
written Senators and Congressmen;!
asking them to do what they can in |
the legislation to be enacted by Con-!
gross so this State may join in un-,
employment insurance plans under ^
the enabling act passed on the last j
day of the 1035 session, and not have
to call a special session. The enabling
act provides that the Governor and
Council of State may set up a system
for unemployment insurance to
meet national legislation, except that
no appropriation was made or could
have been made at the end of the session.
The Federal legislation was delayed
beyond the expected time and
the X. C. legislature adjourned before
it could enact laws meeting The j
requirements.
VI TOMOBIUE TAGS
Legislators bent upon "carrying
something back to the folks" worked ?
until the last day of the 1935 General
Assembly session for a reduction from
55 to 40 cents in the rate of automobile
tags per 100 pounds of car. The
reduction was from $12.50 to $8 minimum
charge, but only the old-model
lower priced cars get the minimum
rate of $8. All new popular priced
cars range around $9 to $10 for tags.
However, on the last day also the ?
Legislature ratified an act which requires
all cars sold in the Sta' after
January 1st to be equipped with safety
glass. This safety glass, when in-!
stalled at the plant, costs from $6 to;
$10 extra, depending upon the car' I
size. The additional cost for safety j j
glass wipes out all and more of the j j
saving for one year in the reduction j i
in license plate rates. All cars and j ]
trucks must ii3.? i*- i : .

being excepted. But old cars can run I!
on until the end of their time without 11
the safety glass. It is only required' I
in new cars.
NEW BANKING LAW
Uncertainty of a new amendment :
to the banking laws, a bill introduced
by Senator Erskine Smith, of Stanly,
and approved by the Senate Banking
Committee, Senator John Sprunt Hill |
chairman, and passed in the clcssing
days of the recent session, has the
State Banking Department "up a
tree." The new act apparently would
allow any stockholder to bring action
against directors or stockholders of a
bank in liquidation, making directors
liable personally if they have "knowingly"
permitted officers to violate
thn banking laws Th#? amendment to
Section 53. Chapter 4, Public Laws
of 1921, follows: "Any aggrieved j
stockholder in any bank in liquodation
may prosecute an action for the!
enforcement of the provision of this'
section. Only one such action may be j
brought. The procedure shall follow j
as neany as may be that prescribed
by Section 2545 of the Consolidated
Statutes, relative to suits on bonds
of contractors with municipal corporations."
